Tudor manor
Half-timbered aristocratic residence
A Tudor manor is a large English country house built during the Tudor period (1485–1603), characterized by half-timbered construction, steep gabled roofs, tall chimneys, and mullioned windows.
These estates served as centers of rural landholding, with the manor house surrounded by farmland worked by tenants.
The style is often imitated in modern residential architecture: a subdivision of Tudor manor homes with decorative timber framing.
